"The main words I can say about Olympus is dependable, meticulous, and reasonable. This company aims to please and is not afraid of hard work ! I feel like they went above and beyond to finish the work in a timely manner. I was impressed that not only did they lay sod, but went back and placed tiny patches of grass to make sure there were no bare spots at all in between the squares. Very meticulous! The sand stone walkways and patios are perfect! I highly recommend them. They will always be the first and only company I call for landscaping."

"They understood what I needed and wanted and did a fantastic job in half a day. They chopped down a big ugly monster bush/tree that was annoying me for years, cleaned out the planters around the porch that had pesky junk plants that were difficult for me to get rid of and removed yet more nasty plants that were hard to deal with beside the house and garage. They even edged the sidewalks and driveway and made everything look perfect. They're awesome hardworking fellas and I highly recommend you get their help on any projects."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, no, tree topping isn’t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it’s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it.

Any cutting of tree roots can hurt or kill a tree, which is why it's recommended you don’t do it unless the roots are damaging or invasive on a nearby structure like your home. You should never cut more than 15 percent of above-ground tree roots at one time. If you have any questions about cutting tree roots, contact your local arborist.

Tree trimming can count as landscaping, depending on how a landscaping business describes its services. Professional tree trimmers are more specialized than landscapers and offer trimming services separately from general landscaping.

When general landscaping companies offer tree trimming, look up the details. They usually mean shaping or seasonal trimming of ornamental trees, which is different from trimming larger trees for health or safety reasons. When possible, look for a licensed expert that specializes in trees and tree health.

Most tree removals take 3-8 hours, requiring additional time for stump grinding or debris hauling.

Ideally, you’ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you’d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners’ association or local authorities, if applicable.
